Quarantine tips !

Today I bring out to you a different blog from what I normally post, today I will be giving you some tips that have worked for me over this past few days of quarantine.

So let's go !

1. Set up your weekly and daily to-do list.

Saturday or Sunday I take a moment out of everything and everyone to take a quick look at my notes and my syllabus' in order to verify what should I read, homeworks, projects, essays and all of that. I set it up on a list and then assign it to the due date on a calendar.

This will help you knowing your essentials and of course a better and easier planning process trough the week.

2. Setting up a schedule.

Schedule includes wake up time, classes and self study time. It can also have "me" time but for that I just improvise.

I set up, day by day, hour by hour what I should be doing. Before I did this I procrastinated as if there was no tomorrow lol. But knowing which is gonna be my in and out hour it has become easier to avoid procrastination. This also includes a lunch time!!

3. Get ready as if you were going out.

Get a shower, dress up, brush your hair and if you want apply some makeup. This will cheat on your brain and make it think that you are actually on a "serious" mood.

4. Working on different spaces.

I saw this on a YouTubers video and implemented it, and it worked for me, everyday I found different distractions in the place I was in, so this helped me to avoid it. Just don't do it in your bed or you'll end sleep.

5. Quarantine is not about studying the whole day long.

Self care, exercising, meditation, resting, watching series, spending time with your family is totally necessary during this hard times. Please be aware that your psychological state is constantly stressed; this means that you need to relax and do something different from saturating your brain. I manage a schedule 8-6 and after 6pm I forbid myself of doing University related stuff, I meditate, do yoga, and some exercise, I call my friends and my boyfriend and spend time in amino to end my day.

6. Try to learn new things!

This quarantine many people has began studying how to manage Excel, or how to program softwares, or even doing research. Personally I am learning how to meditate and be in peace with my mind.

7. Create a ritual out of cleaning up your mess.

This will give your brain a closing from school and will put you into another mood.

8. Eat properly.

Anxiety caused by the news, the uncertainty may make you eat more than you should or what you'd normally do.

Try not to eat too much carbs or sugar since this will make you more anxious and of course contribute to your body being bad.

9. Inform from reliable sources about what is going on.

I think this is self explanatory, fake news may shook you more than required.

10. Rest properly.

Sleep everything you need, if you need to take naps, do it, if you need to sleep a little longer, do it. If your body is telling you it's tired it is because it needs some rest. (PS. You can change coffee for apples. Same effect, more healthy)

And finally I want to wish you all the best and I really hope this ends soon, love y'all.
